SIDE-DUMP TRUCK.

To e553 'i1/fiom tmasg/ concern.'

Be it lrnown that I, CHARLES I. Lonen* nicotina, a eitizen of the United States, and Leiden-t of .iliilwaulrea in` the' county of Mii wauliee vented certain new and useful )improvements in SideLDump Trucks;

biere that Vthe;folloi/ring is a full, clear, and

iy invention relates to neviY and useful i iproif'ements in means for tilting the bodies (l dumu vehicles forv the charging material therefrom.

@ne object oit the presentinvention remeans wherebyv the fuleruin point upon Whichthe stationary ve chage end oi* with respect to the relatively "e .traine to dispose the disbody .outwardly and at side of said y .le iframe. `thich arrangement may red on either end or side dump trucks. additional important object is to. proa sideduinp truclif whose bodymay be ed in either direction vto discharge the material toward either side of the truck.

also an object to provide means for ously' shifting the fulcrum point mp body and tilting said body. l ss important object consists in pro it ug an improved. carriage-formounting bodav on the vehicle frame whereby to elative to one another. thi e the invention consists in the novel features ot coustrufftion,v combination and' arrange- .inent of parte which will lbe hereinafter more particularly described and claimed and shown in the drawings wherein:

Figure l represents a vertical transverse s btion through a vtruck frame having a side dun'ip body mountedV thereon, said'body being tilted by means constructed in accordance with my invention.

Fig. is a View similar' to Fig. l, but showing the dump" body in lowered or normal position, said section being indicated bythe line 9.2 of l? ig. 3, and y,

l? ig. El is a horizontal section taken on the line 8-3 of Fig. l. Y

ln the present tion l have illustrated the same combined with the body frame and dump receptacle of an ordinary sidedump truck, but it is @gift- .f `tgpfacilitation of Letters'latent.

and State'oi Wisconsin, haveiii-` and l do hereby depurpose of 'dis-` i tilted. Th y dump body is to be .rocked 4may be shifted in' different imaction 4to a minimum when the parts 'and many other objects in view. vtherebetween. Each cepta'cle embodiment of my -inven- Y obvious that substantially thesame structure could be used in connection with an end dump truck for eferring to the invention, numeral l desig nates ad 2, said frame being disposed, as is cus- A tomary, upon. axles supported by suitable ground engagingwheels 3. 4

As hereinbefore indicated, it is desirable to have the dump receptacle l moved laterally with respect to the body frame andout of its normal position lwhen it is to be permit the discharge end of the which-are usually of considerable diameter in heavy tr/ucks. In other words the fuler'um point for the receptacle is moved outwardly toward the side ofthe body frame from which it is desired to discharge material Within said rceptacle. tiedl out'by provision of one or more c'ar. riages 4,' in the present-.instance two being used, which are slidably disposed upon pairs of spaced tracks in the form of channeledr bars 5. Thesetiacks in said dump truck are placed' transversely of the body frame to reinforcing bars 6, as shown particularly The carriages are preferably spaced apart as shown in this ligure to permit a suitable carriage shifting mechanism, which will later be described, to be placed of the carriages is of a length approximately equal to the distance between the side bars 2, and each includes a pair of end members which are'in the form of fulcrum blocks 7 and 7', side bars' 8 p ivotally'connecting the fulcrum blocks,

a pivot shaft 9 extending through the sidebars and journally mounted therein7 and rollers l0 on the outer endsof Asaid shaftV for engagement with the 'tracks 5. 'The fulcruin blocks 7 and 7 also engage the tracks 5, but the major portion of the Weight of the dump receptacle is borne by the roller.l

When in I.normal position the dump rerests upon the pair of carriages, being in engagement therewith at spaced points, said points of Contact being between the fulcrum blocks and pivot rods 11 carried by the under side of the receptacle. From the several figures of the drawing it will be noticed that the :Fulcrum blocks are e main advantage of suchinove- This is oar-f Patented' Mar. 26, 19th.. application led .Tune 8, 1917.
